Donor Services 

Our development team will work with you to discuss your goals and help explore the best giving vehicle for your situation. We are available to consult and define both your short- and long-term philanthropic goals and to guide you toward new opportunities to have the greatest impact.

We often work with families to develop gift opportunities and plans that allow you to make decisions today and engage your family in the joy of giving in the decades ahead.

GUIDED GIVING

Charitable giving can do more than make a difference—it has the power to transform our community, the world and even ourselves. Sometimes it's hard to know how to put your generosity to work and assess the results. That's where the Community Foundation's Guided Giving program can help. Fees for Guided Giving are based on the individual gift situation. We work with individuals, couples, families and organizations to help you:

•     Think through and identify your philanthropic values and mission

•     Bring into focus the issues and opportunities you want to address

•     Learn about your community and assess charitable organizations and causes

•     Discover principles and best practices of effective grantmaking

•     Assess results and prepare for your next philanthropic goals

Investment strategy and administration

Our investment strategy holds long term objectives to preserve the real value of current assets and future gifts for the long term benefit of our community.

Through economies of scale, the Community Foundation is able to charge minimal fees compared to the costs of establishing and maintaining a private foundation or administering and investing funds as an individual. Administrative fees are based on the services offered for each type of fund and investment management fees are netted out of the long-term growth portfolio’s rate-of-return.
